| Challenge: | In this paper, we focus on task-oriented dialog systems, although our framework allows easy integration of non-task dialog systems and their combination. |
| Approach: | They propose an open source dialog system framework for education and research that supports multi-domain task-oriented conversations in two languages. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework supports multi-domain task-oriented conversations in two languages and is open source for education and research. |

| Challenge: | Existing toolkits for developing dialog systems are limited to core components and do not support multi-modal processing and social signals. |
| Approach: | They propose to use ADVISER to develop multi-modal dialog agents using multi-text and social signals. |
| Outcome: | The proposed toolkit is flexible, easy to use, and easy to extend for linguists and cognitive scientists, thereby providing a flexible platform for collaborative research. |
